Greg Secrist on ILM, and everything else under the "SUN"

My first entry .... about this blog ...

So I decided to take the plunge and start my own Sun blog. Thanks to Mr. Neely and my other cohorts for twisting my arm enough to finally start putting my so called "insightful" thoughts out to the storage community at large. I've entitled my blog as ILM and everything else under the "SUN". My main blog subject will be my take on ILM (what it is and what it is not), and my experiences with customers and peers as I continue down this road of ILM consulting. I will also, occasionally, blog on everything else to do with stuff here at Sun Microsystems. After all, ILM is not relegated to just a storage topic and the storage component within the IT technology stack. It is a concept, way of thinking, and approach to managing and organizing data (that contains information) throughout the entire data path. This data path touches different stacks of technology through its lifecycle, thus the whole idea of managing the lifecycle of the data (information) from creation, to resting place, to recall at some point down the road. Ok, I'm already on my soapbox and this is supposed to be an introduction to my Sun blog. More to come as I find time to write on the plane, at the airport, and anywhere else as I travel from customer to customer delivering ILM and storage consulting services. Stay tuned ...
